1967 Map of Kiowa Peak SW

About this map

The Salt Fork Brazos River carves a winding path through this portion of Stonewall County, defining a landscape dominated by ranching and petroleum extraction in the late 1960s. The northern reaches are occupied by the Bissett Ranch Oil Field, where numerous Oil Wells and pipelines indicate the region's industrial character. Settlement is sparse, represented by small locales such as Easy, Charlie, and Baker, which serve as quiet markers of rural Texas life. Cultural landmarks like the Mt Olive Cem provide a point of reference for genealogists tracing local families. The terrain is further shaped by seasonal drainages including Wedington Creek and Stinking Creek, while the presence of several Gravel Pits and a Prospect suggest a reliance on the land's raw materials during this era of Texas development.
